Semua Bab BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge!: Bab 1 - Bab 10

"It's been two weeks, Hayley. You need to stop crying over him. He is not worth a single tear that falls from your eyes." Emily, Hayley's best friend consoled her. Emily sat down beside Hayley on the couch, gently patting her shoulder as Hayley lay still with tears streaming down her face. She was tired of everything. The anguish was too much to bear all at once. It had been two weeks since Leo and her divorced, yet she still couldn't get over him. Hayley had gone to her family to seek their help to help her plead with Leonardo, but instead of supporting her, they abused her and kicked her out. Hayley knew they never truly cared for her or considered her as family, especially her foster mother, Wendy Forbes. She despised Hayley so much that Hayley often wondered why she even adopted her in the first place. Hayley was aware that she had no place in that home, but she never imagined that in her time of need, they would turn their backs on her and leave her helpless. They made it clear

**FIVE YEARS LATER**"Come on, Daisy. We are going to be late!" Hayley called out to her child, making her way to her room and lingering by the doorway when she saw her. Daisy was standing in front of her dressing mirror, struggling to fix her bow."I'm coming, Mommy. I just need to fix this!" she murmured.Hayley watched her, her heart melting at her cuteness. Her little angel. She approached Daisy and knelt to her level, embracing her and admiring her."Let Mama help you, baby," Hayley pleaded, but she stubbornly refused."No! I can do it myself!" Daisy protested, her grey eyes sparkling with determination. Just like Hayley, Daisy had an independent spirit and liked doing things on her own."I know you can, baby. But for today, let me help you. We're running late and you know today is Luna's birthday. She wouldn't want her best friend to be late," Hayley persuaded.After a moment of consideration, Daisy finally gave in."Okay, fine.""Good girl," Hayley praised, patting her head wit

"Uncle Adrian!" Daisy exclaimed enthusiastically, freeing herself from Hayley's grasp and rushing over to Adrian.Adrian lifted her up and affectionately kissed her temple before carrying her in his arms.He gently patted her hair, "How are you, my little angel? Did you have a good time?"He gazed at Daisy with fondness.But Daisy shook her head sadly, "Not really. I got mommy worried."Adrian furrowed his brow at her, mirroring her sad expression."Why? What happened?"He turned to Hayley with curiosity, not even realizing Leonardo was behind him."What went wrong?" Adrian's voice was filled with concern.Hayley shook her head, "It's nothing, Adrian. Don't worry about it." Adrian frowned at her before turning back to Daisy."What happened, baby? Why was Mommy worried?"Hayley tried to convey through eye contact to Daisy not to tell him, but she couldn't understand.Daisy innocently told Adrian. "Luna and I got lost today. Mommy got worried."Adrian's eyes widened, his brow furrowin

Hayley watched the phone ring incessantly and for a moment before the sound ceased."Hello? Who is this?" She heard Emily's dulcet yet demanding tone over the phone.Relief washed over Hayley. Her heart fluttered with gladness to hear her voice again after almost six years.Trying to calm her nerves, Hayley replied. "Hello, Em... It's me," She hesitated, "Hayley. Hayley Forbes."Silence followed. Hayley waited for her response, but two minutes ticked by with no answer."Emily? Are you still there?" Hayley asked, pulling the phone away from her ear to check if the call had disconnected."H- Hayley?" Emily stammered. The surprise in her voice was palpable. "You're alive?"Hayley let out a scoff, her heart melting at the same time. "Yes, I am alive. How have you been?" She asked, sidestepping the reason behind her sudden call after five years."I can't believe this..." Emily's voice cracked. "You're alive, Hayley. And I had no idea. It's been six years. I thought you were dead. I've been

Meanwhile..."Please have your seat, Mr. Logan." Adrian urged, circling to sit behind his desk as Leonardo took his seat in the plush office seat."Welcome to my office," Adrian said genially after taking his seat. He paused before continuing. "You want something to drink or eat or something?" He asked politely.But Leonardo shook his head. "No, thank you. I'm good."Adrian studied him for a moment before shrugging. "All right. If you say so." He continued, "But what kind of CEO would I be, if I can't give my guest a drink of the best wine in my office." He rose to his feet, walking briskly over to a small wine bar at the end of the office.Adrian picked a bottle of wine with two wine glasses before returning to Leonardo. He popped the wine and poured it into the two glasses before taking his seat. "Long time, no see, Mr. Logan. I was expecting you to come earlier, but to my surprise, you didn't. I was worried you had taken my fiancée's words to heart. Had you, Mr. Logan?"Leonardo f
